Range Rover Blues:
If you don't have a pit or ramps I think it's easier/safer to move the engine too, the box weighs the same anyway and you aren't working beneath it :o

If you are only replacing the clutch then you can perhaps get away with slewing the engine forwards and not lifting it out, but it might be worth a new crank oil seal and check the surface of the flywheel too.  If it doesn't come out you only need to split the exhaust, remove the rad etc as the wiring and heater hoses should allow you to move the engine forewards.

If only Rover had had the sense to make an inspection cover you could assemble the clutch loosely and tighten the cover plate after the pilot bearing was in place.  I find lining that up the hardest part.
